THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY WASHINGTON 16, D. C OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT Dear Students: The theme of this year ' s TALON is Presenting The American University. As you turn the pages of the yearbook, you will see the many faces your University turns to the world and for which you have your own loyalties and affections. But I hope that behind them you will see, too, other meanings -- meanings which are implicit in the words American and university, Throughout the long journey of man ' s naind through the jungles of ignorance, over the centuries, the university has held the highest torch to light the dark pathways, and has led the way through the thorny obstacles of misinformation and prejudice. This function of a university has not ended nor lessened now that we are embarked upon the space age. The responsibilities of intellectual leadership have increased in the complexities of modern day living, responsibilities not only of the universities but of their people as well. In the work of the universities lies much of the hope of the world for enlightenment and leadership. I think I need not spell out for you the important meanings of the word American to those of us who live here. What the word means to the world is, perhaps, even more important to us because we have the obligation of making sure that American means to the world as well as to us man ' s freedom, his right to rule himself, his chance for a new, improved existence. Our University is proudly najned. This inheritance has fired us with determination that all of the planning going forward now and projected for the future shall embody the finest and best in the tradition which is this inheritance. Very sincerely yours. cSuaoi l Hurst R. Anderson President 17
